Legislation
Disability is defined in Australian legislation as ‘a disorder or
malfunction that results in the person learning differently from a person without
the disorder or malfunction’ (Disability Discrimination Act, 1992)
Under the Disability Discrimination Act (1992), it is unlawful for
an educational authority or educational provider to discriminate
against a student on the ground of the student’s disability. This
includes
• denying or limiting the student’s access to any benefit provided by the
educational authority
• by developing curricula or training courses having a content that will either
exclude the person from participation, or subject the person to any other
detriment
Legislation
Disability Standards for Education (2005)
